Thanks for the idea, I will add an explanation and switch to ">".

I will adopt your wording.
> <TABLE FRAME=ALL RULES=GROUPS>
> <COL SPAN=2 CLASS="foo">
> <COL SPAN=1 CLASS="bar">
> <COL SPAN=2 CLASS="baz">
> <THEAD>

> </TABLE>
This isn't strictly legal according to proposed DTD. You need to
place a <COLGROUP> before the first <COL> element. This is an
unfortunate consequence of how the SGML spec is defined. It is
very restrictive for when you can omit the start tag of elements.
